Redden back at practice, Seidenberg on ice before practice with Whitesides. Looks like we might get Redden back and Seidenberg hasn't ruled himself out. Who do you sit from the rookie d-men? Doubt Julien plays the rookies over any of the vets.

Seidenberg is the only one who should remove any defensman from the lineup. He is just skating with Whitesides, typically he would need to partake in full practice to be declared ready to play.

Redden is a tough call becuase he has played so well. He isn't as big a threat offensively as Bartkowski nor Krug, especially as Torey on the PP. Defensively ? If Krug and Bartkowski play in game 2 the way they played in game 1, I cannot take them out of the lineup for game 3.

Redden re-injures himself in game 2 then he is re-moved from the rest of the series or the playoffs then there goes a real good vet as a backup. I stay with the kids no matter how healthy Redden and Ference get. Seidenberg, of course, has to be back in no matter what.

I would keep the same 3 youngins in for Game 2. I don't think Redden necessarily gives you more from any of 3 of them. I was impressed with their play, so don't fix it if it ain't broke.

Seidenberg is the big one, followed by whatever Ference is dealing with, but I would stick the kids until a slip up.

I agree with this, if any of the vets are not 100% , keep the 3 kids in .

TSN is repoorting that Redden is not quite ready to play but have his listed as a game time decision and is close. Seids/Ference are doubtful. I'm guessing the rookies or the "B team" as they call themselves will be in tomorrow.

in order, here are the guys that sit.

1. Krug

2. Hamilton

3. Bart

I'd actually play Krug the next game over the other two. If it were later in the series, probably not. He may be what brings our PP lacks back to life. Give Redden the extra days off.

he's good on the PP, but just because he snuck a shot past hank (it was a soft soft goal) doesn't mean he should vault over bartkowski

I hope you sawt that he did more than just sneak a shot past Hank. His skating ability with the puck brings us something we lack. When he got hammered behind the net (forget by who) and stayed with the puck showed surprised alot of us. It's not like he's going to be on the ice with a one goal lead in the last minute, but I like what he can add to this group. I'm sure the Rangers are gonna try to pound him next game. We'll have to wait and see how he responds.

Logically Redden will play if completely healthy, playoff appearances alone gives him the nod. As for Bartkowski, Hamilton, and Krug, I tend to believe Krug is the odd player out. Bartkowski can skate like krug, and Hamilton is just talent. I have to think it is a CJ decision, if any doubt on the condition of Redden, then it remains the same like game 1. I hate thinking like BFII.
